I've only been lucky enough to experience that perfect synergy of gamers for any meaningful length of time twice, early EQ and EVE Online. EQ worked because it was a actual cultural phenomenon so the population was diverse, eve worked because things like a single shard world with a symbiotic relationships between pve and pvp forcing those two groups to interact

i wish the world had more Brads and crazy Icelandic Vikings making video games in it is my point i guess idk...
